Volume III: Underworld Shock

Chapter 52: Jailer Reform

Seeing Fan Jinyan's eyes rolling around, Old Man Wei instantly understood, and thought to himself, this kid is really not small, he actually dared to knock on the emperor's bamboo pole, so he whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

After hearing this, the emperor laughed, and felt more and more that Fan Jinyan was interesting, "Fan Aiqing, don't worry, you have helped me a lot this time, as long as you can solve the problem of forming a party, I will not only give you a house, but also give you a big official to do." ”

Fan Jinyan secretly rejoiced, he also saw the small action of the old Wei Tou just now, and couldn't help but give the old man a look that counts as if you still have some conscience before he said slowly: "The saint is afraid that the party will fight and mislead the country, and he is afraid that the princes will grow up to cultivate their own forces, which is not conducive to the stability of the country?" ”

"That's right, Aiqing has a good plan?" The Emperor said.

Fan Jinyan smiled and said: "There is no lack of party disputes in all dynasties, and a lot of blood has been shed, can it be blocked?" No, on the contrary, it intensified, directly threatening the rule of the Son of Heaven, so the suggestion of the grass people is that it is better to block it than to sparse it. ”

"How to channel." The emperor suddenly came to the spirit.

"The Holy One also knows that forming a party is nothing more than a group of people who gather together to achieve a certain political goal, and forming a party with such a purpose will only disturb the stability of the country, and as long as the interests reach a certain height, the punishment of the law will be useless. This is why all dynasties have been purging, but the results are still unstoppable. Therefore, the proposal of the grass people is to formalize the party and make it public. Fan Jinyan said.

Old Wei Tou suddenly interjected: "What is formalization and openness. ”

Glancing at the old Wei Tou who didn't know the number of etiquette, Fan Jinyan continued to flicker: "To put it bluntly, it is to let the partisan dispute no longer be hidden. Your Majesty does not have to worry about it all day long, and it is directly public. Who wants to form their own party. The emperor can fully support it, let them fight under your nose. ”

See the emperor's confused eyes. Fan Jinyan continued to explain, "For example, if Mr. Wei forms a party and the grass people form a party, it is inevitable that the two parties will fight. But His Majesty knows that those people are a group, and he can easily know where their interests lie, and this is one of them. Second, His Majesty can allow the two parties to run for the ruling party in an open and honest manner, for example, this is the party of Lord Wei who has the right to govern. Then Lord Wei is the prime minister of the country, and has the right to form his own party's cabinet and appoint officials from all over the country, of course, with the consent of His Majesty the Emperor. In this case, the opposition party to which the grass people belong generally holds a deputy position and has the obligation to assist the ruling party. There is also the right to spy on the ruling party. ”

Although the emperor still didn't understand, he still felt something interesting, so he smiled and said, "Then how do you know that the opposition party will really assist the ruling party, instead of embarrassing the officials everywhere?" ”

Fan Jinyan did not finish. I also know that they will ask, "Your Majesty, this requires another department to check and balance the two parties." And this department has to be absolutely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and that is the Parliament. The grass people's suggestion is to choose the relatives of the Qing Dynasty. Not only did they not worry about their interference in the administration of the imperial court, but also saved them from doing nothing for a day. The main function of the parliament was to monitor the parties of the imperial court for transgression and excesses. There is also the assessment of the gains and losses of the ruling party during the administration of the party, and the cooperation of the opposition parties with the ruling party. ”

In the end, Fan Jinyan also sorted out the separation of powers, the criminal department is only responsible for arresting people and investigating and collecting evidence, Dali Temple will also evolve into a court, playing the role of a judge, and the Inspectorate also talks about setting up a procuratorate to play the role of a public prosecutor, in order to ensure the fairness of the judiciary. Of course, in ancient times, neither transportation nor information was developed, and there was no need for every county to do this, and the country's finances could not afford to support so many officials.

The emperor and Lao Wei Tou listened for half an hour before they understood a general idea, and Fan Jinyan was helpless, so he had to explain to them little by little the general meaning of the multi-party rule in later generations. Why generally? Because he also knows a little bit about it.

This will be a major political change, basically turning the party into a multi-party government, and it is very difficult for the emperor to accept this kind of suggestion that the power of the subject is greater than the power of the monarch.

After listening to this, the emperor sat there pinching his chin and meditated, as if he was doing a mental struggle, weighing the gains and losses himself. It wasn't until it was almost the fifth watch that he asked bitterly: "You want to weaken my power!" ”

Fan Jinyan said in his heart, you are still not stupid, now you only feel that you are weakening your rights, but after a long time, not only will you find out, but the ministers and the people will also find out that the emperor is not the high Son of Heaven, but a national moth who is a corpse vegetarian, and at that time, the emperor is useless, and it will be put on your dragon case. Although he thought so in his heart, he still had to reassure the hearts of the people, "Your Majesty rest assured, the courtiers can get all this, it is not Your Majesty's mercy, if they really pass, you can completely dissolve the parliament by force, from the formation of the cabinet, until you are satisfied." ”

In the end, in the night-long in-depth dialogue between the three stinkers, the ancient version of the multi-party ruling policy was finally established.

First, the number of parties is limited to two or three; Second, the number of people who joined the party was limited to officials, and the military and scholars were not among them, which was a special concern of the emperor and Old Man Wei, who obviously did not want the military to intervene in politics, and Old Man Wei did not want the students to be used as guns like him; Third, the emperor assigned governance tasks for each ruling party, which served as an important criterion for the parliament's political performance. Fourth, officials of opposition parties must cooperate with the ruling party in its governance, strictly prohibit malicious slander and persecution of the ruling party, and disqualify them from running for the next election once they are discovered. Fifth, the formation of a parliament, composed of nobles and royal clansmen, mainly to supervise and evaluate the merits of the various parties, non-functional, temporary personnel transfer; Sixth, the separation of judicial powers to ensure the fairness of the law is temporarily implemented in the capital and gradually promoted to the whole country; Seventh, the emperor has the right to forcibly dissolve the cabinet and reorganize the cabinet, and the appointment of officials must be evaluated and approved by the emperor, otherwise it will be invalid......

After writing dozens of articles, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, in fact, most of the content of the new policy is to ensure the absolute prestige of the imperial power. There is no way, it is impossible for the emperor to agree to give his rights to his courtiers, even if Fan Jinyan himself is the emperor, he will not agree stupidly.

After all the discussions were over, the emperor specially called the eunuchs to the palace gate to inform the ministers to take a day off and hold a grand court meeting tomorrow. After finishing the incident, he didn't mention the matter of Fan Jinyan being crowned, but just asked him to wait in the palace tomorrow.

It wasn't until he left the palace that Fan Jinyan patted his head and woke up suddenly, Nima, Lao Tzu is here to make a wish to the ghost, why did he start reforming? I won't write Lao Tzu into the history books in the future! I don't know if it's a name left in history or a stench for thousands of years......
